Futurama Wiki Guide

Futurama is a cartoon series created by Matt Groening and David X. Cohen. In it, Philip J. Fry, a very "special" and very ordinary pizza delivery boy, becomes cryogenically frozen, only to wake up in the year 3000.

Futurama follows Fry and his adopted band of comrades throughout their plight to become a interplanetary package delivery business that...delivers packages to other planets without dying.

Originally airing on the Fox network, Futurama suffered irregular airing of episodes through most of its network life. The lack of a regular schedule may have been a major contributor to Futurama's falling; ultimately the show was cancelled.

Fortunately, thanks to continuous ravenous interest in the show (notably supported by Futurama's regular inclusion on Adult Swim's line-up on Cartoon Network) the show was ultimately revived. Initially, the show returned in a series of 4 movies, which were relatively independent of one another in regards to story arc.

Finally, after tugging at the dreams of so many for so long, Futurama returned to the television airwaves on Comedy Central where it completed its entire series run in 2013.
